Start of 4 day "Inka Jungle Trek" Oh my god I am so hung over!! Must have had a few more than I thought! Up at 6 for 630 pick up. I am off on a 4 day "Inka Jungle Trek". 4 days of adventure and activities and the last day seeing Machu Picchu (last word pronounced peek - choo). A 3 hour mini bus journey listening to six 20 year old girls talking about boys and university and tv shows and two lovebirds right in front of me constantly touching each other and nibbli...

Day 7 - First Hostel Experience I have just experienced my 1st ever night in a hostel! £6 per night in a room with 14 beds in it! After my bus ride I pretty much went straight to sleep.

Day 2 So Cusco is a fairly big town and very touristy. There are old ladies (I say old but probably 5 years older than me! (I know the correct English is "I" mum but I'm not going to bother with all that on here. At least I know, right?)) trying to sell me the same gorgeous hand made materials everywhere I turn.
